College friendship is sending one of your friends who's graduating soon a giant list of monster theory and gothic horror academic reading recs so they can download as many PDFs as possible before they lose their university database access
Wa-fucking-hoo for the OFMD fandom! :) <3
the urge i feel to be a librarian at a gothic style academic library walking around the creaky wood floors and climbing ladders to put away books
To be beautiful means to be yourself. You don't need to be accepted by others. You need to accept yourself. When you are born a lotus flower, be a beautiful lotus flower, don't try to be a magnolia flower. If you crave acceptance and recognition and try to change yourself to fit what other people want you to be, you will suffer all your life. True happiness and true power lie in understanding yourself, accepting yourself, having confidence in yourself.

Hello Mr Gaiman, I'm watching Dead Boy Detectives and I'm enjoying it very much. But I've a grammar dilemma about the title, since English is not my first language.
Shouldn't it be "Dead Boys Detectives" ?
Thank you!
Think of “Dead boy” as a descriptive phrase, like “tall giraffe” or “Clever Lesbian”. The Clever Lesbian Detective Agency will send clever lesbians to investigate crimes, and the tall giraffe detective agency will send tall giraffes to your house to investigate mysteries.
Okay so I’ve been using this method for a few years now to download most of my music and apparently a lot of people don’t know how to do it so I thought I’d share. This method works for any working audio post on tumblr and you won’t lose any of the quality of the audio post like you do with some Youtube converters. This method only works for GOOGLE CHROME. I’m sure you can do it with other browsers, I just don’t know how. Chrome is free though so it shouldn’t be a problem. Okay so:
1. Open up tumblr and find the audio post(s) you want to download. (don’t press play yet!!)
2. RIGHT click over the center-ish of the audio post (mac users click control then click to right click)
3. Click “inspect element”
4. Click “network”
5. Click “size”
6. Click the play button on the audio post and let it play for a few seconds until the audio file shows up (you don’t have to listen to the whole thing).
7. Right click where it says “from cache” in the size column. This should be the audio file.
8. Click “open in a new tab”. A new tab with a black screen and the audio file should open.
9. Right click anywhere in the black screen, then click “save as”.
10. Save your file and enjoy!!
*PC users will need to drag the mp3 file from your downloads to iTunes; Mac users can just open the file after it has downloaded and it will automatically open in iTunes
**you can change the name of the song/artist/album/artwork after the file is in iTunes. Just right click then click “get info” and edit away!
I hope this was helpful!! I know this seems like a lot of steps but once you get the hang of it, it’s really fast and easy. :)
***UPDATE: IF YOU HAVE XKIT THERE IS AN EXTENSION THAT ALLOWS YOU TO DO THIS MUCH SIMPLER. IT’S CALLED “AUDIO DOWNLOADER” OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT :)
sometimes you just need to summon this flowchart as an overlay of your vision
How intimidated do you think trans women on this site feel to even speak up about their being banned at all anymore after what the CEO did to predstrogen and the ways that staff has continued to allow administrative punishment of random trans women, who rightfully email staff asking why they got murked, who in response get an email typed by an actual human person waving their hand around going, ohh don't you recall? You were weird and sexually strange once. I know you know what you did. You've read our TOS. You know we have rules against being sexually strange. You are so naturally implicated in your own execution that we won't waste our breath even explaining why this happened to you. Don't worry, this wasn't random- this was premeditated by a real human person and we've all reached a rational conclusion together, us here at staff and what could have just been one spiteful person or an army of TERF Pinkertons, and we find your assuming of the latter to be quite disrespectful. Think of all the kind, compassionate people on staff who're wishing really really hard that this kind of stuff stops happening. Think about how sad they must be that you're saying all this mean stuff about them. They're just following orders!
